When Life Gets Off Course- Raymond Woodward

Pastor Raymond Woodward’s sermon “When Life Gets Off Course” uses the imagery of storms and shipwrecks to describe the challenges and unexpected trials we face in life. Drawing from passages like 2 Corinthians 11:25 and Acts 27:9–15, he highlights how even Paul endured shipwrecks, beatings, and hardships, yet remained steadfast in faith. The message emphasizes that: • Life’s voyage is unpredictable — storms and setbacks are inevitable. • Choices and influences matter — in Acts 27, the centurion trusted the ship’s owner over Paul’s warning, leading to danger. • God’s guidance is essential — even when circumstances seem out of control, faith anchors us. • Restoration is possible — being “off course” doesn’t mean the journey is over; God can redirect and redeem. It’s a sermon about resilience, trust, and hope when life feels derailed. #upci #upcipreaching #fyp
